Changing the GPS Setting

By default, the device uses GPS to locate satellites. For more information about GPS, go to www.garmin.com/aboutGPS.

  1. Hold UP.
  2. Select Settings > Activities & Apps.
  3. Select the activity to customize.
  4. Select the activity settings.
  5. Select GPS.
  6. Select an option:
    • Select Normal (GPS Only) to enable the default GPS satellite system.
    • Select GPS + GLONASS (Russian satellite system) for more accurate position information in situations with poor sky visibility.
    • Select GPS + GALILEO (European Union satellite system) for more accurate position information in situations with poor sky visibility.
    • Select UltraTrac to record track points and sensor data less frequently (UltraTrac)

    NOTE: Using GPS and another satellite together can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only (GPS and Other Satellite Systems).

GPS and Other Satellite Systems

The default satellite system setting is Normal (GPS Only). The GPS + GLONASS or GPS + GALILEO options offer increased performance in challenging environments and faster position acquisition. Using GPS and another satellite together can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only.

UltraTrac

The UltraTrac feature is a GPS setting that records track points and sensor data less frequently. Enabling the UltraTrac feature increases battery life but decreases the quality of recorded activities. You should use the UltraTrac feature for activities that demand longer battery life and for which frequent sensor data updates are less important.
